Abstract
Recently, the environment and knowledge collecting of traditional library is still unable to occupy its important position in human society. As the development of information technology, many traditional libraries lead in the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to manage the books but it still lacks for providing some services for the readers who are in the library. In this study, researcher tried to find out what are the main requirements for different readers and how to make them effectively use library resources. There are two states of readers as the starting point for system design; one is a kind of the library readers who already know their borrow direction and the other is the readers who don’t know the directions, but they are interested in the book information. Due to these, this study designed some referral services for readers in the library. There are the bookcase recommendation mechanism and relational book searching function to help these two states of readers finding books in the library. The referral services can not only allow readers to achieve effectively self-learning through the system, but break the searching restrictions of traditional library for providing the service of information scanning. As well as the results of experiment and questionnaires, readers could get the books more convenient than traditional searching ways. No matter which states the readers are, they could gain the support to acquire the knowledge more flexible through the services provided by the system.
